FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to novel compounds with multiplearomatic components capable of modulating, regulating and/or inhibitingtyrosine kinase signal transduction. The present invention is alsodirected to methods of prevention and/or treatment of disorders relatedto unregulated tyrosine kinase signal transduction, including but notlimited to, cell growth disorders, metabolic disorders, blood vesselproliferative disorders, inflammatory disorders, neurodegenerativediseases and immune disorders.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Protein tyrosine kinases (“PTKs”) play an important role in the controlof cell growth and differentiation. PTKs comprise a large and diverseclass of proteins having enzymatic activity. PTKs can be of thereceptor-type (having extracellular, transmembrane and intracellulardomains) or the non-receptor type (being wholly intracellular). Forexample, signal transduction mediated by receptor tyrosine kinases(“RTKs”) is initiated by extracellular interaction with a specificgrowth factor (i.e., a ligand), followed by receptor dimerization,transient stimulation of the intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase activityand phosphorylation. Binding sites are thereby created for intracellularsignal transduction molecules and lead to the formation of complexeswith a spectrum of cytoplasmic signaling molecules that facilitate theappropriate cellular response (e.g., cell division, metabolichomeostasis, and responses to the extracellular microenvironment).

With respect to RTKs, it has been shown also that tyrosinephosphorylation sites function as high-affinity binding sites for SH2(src homology) domains of signaling molecules. Several intracellularsubstrate proteins that associate with RTKs have been identified and aredivided into two principal groups: (1) substrates which have a catalyticdomain; and (2) substrates which lack a catalytic domain but serve asadapters and associate with catalytically active molecules. Thespecificity of the interactions between receptors or proteins and SH2domains of their substrates is determined by the amino acid residuesimmediately surrounding the phosphorylated tyrosine residue. Differencesin binding affinities between SH2 domains and the amino acid sequencessurrounding the phosphotyrosine residues on particular receptors areconsistent with the observed differences in their substratephosphorylation profiles. These observations suggest that the functionof each RTK is determined not only by its pattern of expression andligand availability, but also by the array of downstream signaltransduction pathways that are activated by a particular receptor. Thus,phosphorylation provides an important regulatory step which determinesthe selectivity of signaling pathways recruited by specific growthfactor receptors, as well as differentiation factor receptors.

The RTKs comprise a large family of transmembrane receptors with diversebiological activities. The intrinsic function of RTKs is activated uponligand binding, which results in phophorylation of the receptor andmultiple cellular substrates, and subsequently in a variety of cellularresponses. At present, at least nineteen distinct RTK subfamilies havebeen identified. One RTK subfamily, designated the HER subfamily, isbelieved to be comprised of EGFR, HER2, HER3 and HER4. Ligands to theHER subfamily of receptors include epithelial growth factor (EGF),TGF-α, amphiregulin, HB-EGF, betacellulin and heregulin. The secondsubfamily of RTKs, designated the insulin subfamily, is comprised of theINS-R, the IGF-1R and the IR-R. The third RTK subfamily, the “PDGF”family, includes the PDGF α and β receptors, CSFIR, c-kit and FLK-II.Another subfamily of RTKs, identified as the FLK family, is believed tobe comprised of the kinase insert domain-receptor fetal liver kinase-1(KDR/FLK-1), the fetal liver kinase 4 (FLK-4) and the fms-like tyrosinekinase 1 (flt-1). Each of these receptors was initially believed to be areceptor for hematopoietic growth factors. Two other subfamilies of RTKshave been designated as the FGF receptor family (FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 andFGFR4) and the Met subfamily (c-met and Ron). Because of thesimilarities between the PDGF and FLK subfamilies, the two subfamiliesare often considered together. The known RTK subfamilies are identifiedin Plowman et al, 1994, DN&P 7(6): 334-339, which is incorporated hereinby reference.

The non-receptor tyrosine kinases represent a collection of cellularenzymes which lack extracellular and transmembrane sequences. Atpresent, over twenty-four individual non-receptor tyrosine kinases,comprising eleven subfamilies (Src, Frk, Btk, Csk, Abl, Zap70, Fes/Fps,Fak, Jak, Ack and LIMK) have been identified. At present, the Srcsubfamily of non-receptor tyrosine kinases is comprised of the largestnumber of PTKs, and include Src, Yes, Fyn, Lyn, Lck, Blk, Hck, Fgr andYrk. The Src subfamily of enzymes has been linked to oncogenesis. A moredetailed discussion of non-receptor tyrosine kinases is provided inBolen, 1993, Oncogen 8: 2025-2031, which is incorporated herein byreference.

Many of the protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), whether an RTK ornon-receptor tyrosine kinase, have been found to be involved in cellularsignaling pathways leading to cellular signal cascades and pathogenicconditions such as cancer, psoriasis and hyper immune responses. In viewof the importance of PTKs to the control, regulation and modulation ofcell proliferation and the diseases and disorders associated withabnormal cell proliferation, many attempts have been made to identifyreceptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinase “inhibitors” using a varietyof approaches, including the use of mutant ligands (U.S. Pat. No.4,966,849), soluble receptors and antibodies (Kendall & Thomas, 1994,Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci 90: 10705-09; Kim, et al, 1993, Nature 362:841-844), RNA ligands (Jellinek, et al, Biochemistry 33: 10450-56);Takano, et al, 1993, Mol. Bio. Cell 4:358A; Kinsella, et al, 1992, Exp.Cell Res. 199: 56-62; Wright, et al, 1992, J. Cellular Phys. 152:448-57) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (U.S. Pat. No. 5,330,992;Mariani, et al, 1994, Proc. Am. Assoc. Cancer Res. 35: 2268).

More recently, attempts have been made to identify small molecules whichact as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. For example, bis monocyclic, bicyclicor heterocyclic aryl compounds (PCT Application No. WO 92/20642),vinylene-azaindole derivatives (PCT Application No. WO 94/14808) and1-cyclopropyl-4-pyridyl-quinolones (U.S. Pat. No. 5,330,992) have beendescribed generally as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Styryl compounds(U.S. Pat. No. 5,217,999), styryl-substituted pyridyl compounds (U.S.Pat. No. 5,302,606), certain quinazoline derivatives (EP Application No.0 566 266 A1), seleoindoles and selenides (PCT Application No. WO94/03427), tricyclic polyhydroxylic compounds (PCT Application No. WO92/21660) and benzylphosphonic acid compounds (PCT Application No. WO91/15495) have been described as compounds for use as tyrosine kinaseinhibitors for use in the treatment of cancer.

In addition, other small molecules were studied as tyrosine kinaseinhibitors, such as the compounds disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,765,012;6,541,504; 6,747,025; 5,792,783; 5,834,504; 5,883,113; 5,883,116 and5,886,020, all of which are incorporated by reference in theirentireties.

The identification and use of compounds which specifically inhibitsignal transduction by modulating the activity of receptor andnon-receptor tyrosine is one aspect of the present invention.

Unless otherwise indicated, reference to a compound should be construedbroadly to include compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts,prodrugs, tautomers, stereoisomers, diastereoisomers, alternate solidforms, crystal forms, polymorphic forms, hydrates, solvates,metabolites, mixtures of stereoisomers, mixtures of crystal forms,non-covalent complexes, and combinations thereof, of a chemical entityof a depicted structure or a chemical name. Whenever there is a conflictbetween chemical name and its structure drawing, the structure drawingshould be used to interpret the compound of the present invention.

A pharmaceutically acceptable salt is any salt of the parent compoundthat is suitable for administration to an animal or human. Apharmaceutically acceptable salt also refers to any salt which may formin vivo as a result of administration of an acid, another salt, or aprodrug which is converted into an acid or salt. A salt comprises one ormore ionic forms of the compound, such as a conjugate acid or base,associated with one or more corresponding counter-ions. Salts can formfrom or incorporate one or more deprotonated acidic groups (e.g.carboxylic acids), one or more protonated basic groups (e.g. amines), orboth (e.g. zwitterions).

A “prodrug” is a compound, which when administered to the body of asubject (such as a mammal), breaks down in the subject's metabolicpathway to provide an active compound of Formula I. More specifically, aprodrug is an active or inactive “masked” compound that is modifiedchemically through in vivo physiological action, such as hydrolysis,metabolism and the like, into a compound of this invention followingadministration of the prodrug to a subject or patient. One common formof a prodrug is a masked carboxylic acid group. Examples of a maskedcarboxylate anion include a variety of esters, such as alkyl (forexample, methyl, ethyl), cycloalkyl (for example, cyclohexyl), aralkyl(for example, benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl), and alkylcarbonyloxyalkyl (forexample, pivaloyloxymethyl). Amines have been masked asarylcarbonyloxymethyl substituted derivatives which are cleaved byesterases in vivo releasing the free drug and formaldehyde (Bundgaard J.Med. Chem. 2503 (1989)). Also, drugs containing an acidic NH group, suchas imidazole, imide, indole and the like, have been masked withN-acyloxymethyl groups (Bundgaard Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier (1985)).Hydroxy groups have been masked as esters and ethers. EP 039,051 (Sloanand Little, Apr. 11, 1981) discloses Mannich-base hydroxamic acidprodrugs, their preparation and use.For example, conversion may occur byhydrolysis of an ester group or some other biologically labile group.Prodrug preparation is well known in the art. For example, “Prodrugs andDrug Delivery Systems,” which is a chapter in Richard B. Silverman,Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, 2d Ed., ElsevierAcademic Press: Amsterdam, 2004, pp. 496-557, provides further detail onthe subject.

Tautomers are isomers that are in rapid equilibrium with one another.For example, tautomers may be related by transfer of a proton, hydrogenatom, or hydride ion. Unless stereochemistry is explicitly andunambiguously depicted, a structure is intended to include everypossible stereoisomer, both pure or in any possible mixture.

Alternate solid forms are different solid forms than those that mayresult from practicing the procedures described herein. For example,alternate solid forms may be amorphous forms, crystal forms, polymorphs,and the mixtures thereof.

Non-covalent complexes are complexes that may form between the compoundand one or more additional chemical species that do not involve acovalent bonding interaction between the compound and the additionalchemical species. They may or may not have a specific ratio between thecompound and the additional chemical species. Examples might includesolvates, hydrates, charge transfer complexes, and the like.

3.2 Biological Testing

Biological data for the compounds of the present invention was generatedby the use of one or more of the following assays.

VEGF Stimulated Ca.sup.++ Signal In Vitro

Automated FLIPR (Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader) technology was usedto screen for inhibitors of VEGF induced increases in intracellularcalcium levels in fluorescent dye loaded endothelial cells. HUVEC (humanumbilical vein endothelial cells) (Clonetics) were seeded in 96-wellfibronectin coated black-walled plates overnight at 37.degree. C./5%CO.sub.2. Cells wereloaded with calcium indicator Fluo-4 for 45 minutesat 37.degree. C. Cells were washed 4 times (Original Cell Wash,Labsystems) to remove extracellular dye. Test compounds werereconstituted in 100% DMSO and added to the cells to give a final DMSOconcentration of 0.1%. For screening, cells were pre-incubated with testagents for 30 minutes, at a single concentration (10 .mu.M) or atconcentrations ranging from 0.01 to 10.0 .mu.M followed by VEGFstimulation (5 ng/mL). Changes in fluorescence at 516 nm were measuredsimultaneously in all 96 wells using a cooled CCD camera. Data weregenerated by determining max-min fluorescence levels for unstimulated,stimulated, and drug treated samples. IC.sub.50 values for testcompounds were calculated from % inhibition of VEGF stimulated responsesin the absence of inhibitor.

VEGFR2 Kinase Assay

The cytoplasmic domain of the human VEGF receptor (VEGFR-2) wasexpressed as a Histidine-tagged fusion protein following infection ofinsect cells using an His engineered baculovirus. His-VEGFR-2 waspurified to homogeneity, as determined by SDS-PAGE, using nickel resinchromatography. Kinase assays were performed in 96 well microtiterplates that were coated overnight with 30 .mu.g of poly-Glu-Tyr (4:1) in10 mM Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS), pH 7.2-7.4. The plates wereincubated with 1% BSA and then washed four times with PBS prior tostarting the reaction. Reactions were carried out in 120 .mu.L reactionvolumes containing 3.6 .mu.M ATP in kinase buffer (50 mM Hepes buffer pH7.4, 20 mM MgCl.sub.2, 0.1 mM MnCl.sub.2 and 0.2 mM Na.sub.3 VO.sub.4).Test compounds were reconstituted in 100% DMSO and added to the reactionto give a final DMSO concentration of 5%. Reactions were initiated bythe addition 0.5 ng of purified protein. Following a ten minuteincubation at 25.degree. C., the reactions were washed four times withPBS containing 0.05% Tween-20. 100 .mu.l of a monoclonalanti-phosphotyrosine antibody-peroxidase conjugate was diluted 1:10000in PBS-Tween-20 and added to the wells for 30 minutes. Following fourwashes with PBS-Tween-20, 100 .mu.l of O-phenylenediamineDihydrochloride in Phosphate-citrate buffer, containing urea hydrogenperoxide, was added to the wells for 7 minutes as a colorimetricsubstrate for the peroxidase. The reaction was terminated by theaddition of 100 .mu.l of 2.5N H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 to each well and readusing a microplate ELISA reader set at 492 nm. IC.sub.50 values forcompound inhibition were calculated directly from graphs of opticaldensity (arbitrary units) versus compound concentration followingsubtraction of blank values. Compounds of the current invention have theIC50 value in the range of 0.01 to 500 nM.

VEGF-Induced Dermal Extravasation in Guinea Pig (Miles Assay)

Male Hartley guinea pigs (300-600 g) were anesthetized with isofluorane,sheared, and given a single dose of drug or the respective vehicle. Theguinea pigs were dosed orally unless indicated otherwise in Table 3. Tenminutes prior to the end of drug treatment, guinea pigs wereanesthetized with isofluorane, and 0.5% Evans blue dye (EBD) in PBS(13-15 mg/kg dose of EBD) was injected intravenously. After 5 minutes,triplicate intradermal injections of 100 ng rhVEGF.sub.165 in 100 .mu.lPBS and of 100 .mu.l PBS alone were administered on the flank. After 20minutes, each animal was cuthanized with Pentosol, and the skincontaining the intradermal injection sites was removed for imageanalysis.

Using an analog video camera coupled to a PC, an image of eachtrans-illuminated skin sample was captured, and the integrated opticaldensity of each injection site was measured using ImagePro 4. For eachskin sample, the difference between the mean optical density of the VEGFsites and mean optical density of the PBS sites is the measure ofVEGF-induced EBD extravasation in that animal. These measured valueswere averaged per study group to determine the mean VEGF-induced EBDextravasation for each experimental condition, and the group means werethen compared to assess inhibition of VEGF-induced EBD extravasation inthe drug-treated groups relative to the vehicle-treated controls.

To determine the dose required for 50% inhibition (ID.sub.50), thepercent inhibition data was plotted as a function of oral dose, usingthe ‘best-fit’ analysis within MicroSoft Excel software. The ID.sub.50value was verified visually by using the plotted data (horizontal linefrom 50% y value, at intersection with best-fit line drop vertical lineto x axis (dose).

Laser-Induced Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) in Rat (CNV Assay).

CNV was induced and quantified in this model as previously described(Edelman and Castro. Exp. Eye Res. 2000; 71:523-533). On day 0, maleBrown Norway rats (200-300 g) were anesthetized with 100 mg/kg Ketamineand 10 mg/kg Xylazine, and pupils were dilated with 1% Tropicamide.Using the blue-green setting of a Coherent Novus Argon Laser, 3 laserbums (90 mW for 0.1 s; 100 .mu.m diameter) were given to each eyebetween the retinal vessels around the optic nerve head. Rats were dosedwith test compounds in their indicated vehicles orally once daily.

On day 10, rats were sacrificed with 100% CO.sub.2, and blood vesselswere labeled by vascular perfusion with 10 mg/ml FITC-dextran (MW2.times.10.sup.6). Using an epifluorescence microscope (20.times.)coupled to a spot digital camera and a PC, images were obtained from theflat mounts of the RPE-choroid-sclera from each eye, and the areaoccupied by hyperfluorescent neovessels within each laser lesion wasmeasured using ImagePro 4 software.

To determine the dose required for 50% inhibition (ID.sub.50), thepercent inhibition data was plotted as a function of oral dose, usingthe ‘best-fit’ analysis within MicroSoft Excel software. The ID.sub.50value was verified visually by using the plotted data (horizontal linefrom 50% y value, at intersection with best-fit line drop vertical lineto x axis (dose).

The foregoing description can be employed to practice the presentinvention, and represents the best mode contemplated. It should not beconstrued as limiting the overall scope hereof.

PDGF Stimulated Ca²⁺ Signal In Vitro

Automated FLIPR (Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader) technology was usedto screen for inhibitors of PDGF induced increases in intracellularcalcium levels in fluorescent dye loaded endothelial cells. NHDF-Ad(Normal human dermal fibroblasts) (Lonza) were seeded in 384-wellfibronectin coated black-walled plates overnight at 37° C/5% CO₂. Cellswere loaded with calcium indicator Fluo-4 for 45 minutes at 37° C. Cellswere washed 4 times (ELx405-CW, Bio-Tek) to remove extracellular dye.Test compounds were reconstituted in 100% DMSO and added to the cells togive a final DMSO concentration of 0.1%. For screening, cells werepre-incubated with test agents for 30 minutes, at a single concentration(10 μM) or at concentrations ranging from 0.001 nM to 10 μM followed byPDGF stimulation (10 ng/mL). Changes in fluorescence at 515 nm weremeasured simultaneously in all 384 wells using a cooled CCD camera. Datawere generated by determining max-min fluorescence levels forunstimulated, stimulated, and drug treated samples. IC₅₀ values for testcompounds were calculated from % inhibition of PDGF stimulated responsesin the absence of inhibitor.
